Submitted for information. The "Tweed" and Torpedo
Boat No.87 have been taken from "Reserve" and sent to patrol
the West River from Samshul to the son until the "Sandpiper"
(now in Dockyard hands) is ready. They have been directed
to specially protect the route mentioned in my letter to
the Governor of Hong Kong, it being much simpler to have one
route laid down.

The Chinese are apathetic with regard to these
robberies and the Viceroy at Canton cannot be got to make
any real effort in the matter, though he intimated he would
do so.
